I'm running ZM 1.28.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS

I have several Foscam 720p cams working just fine.


I'm trying Jienuo 1080p JN-IP506AR-D-WIFI cams. It'll do wireless or ethernet. I've tried both. It's wired right now.

If I load up VLC on my mac, and go to rtsp://192.168.1.25:554/11 they work great. I get video footage and it never stops.


So I tried adding that into ZM.

Added a new camera.
Changed Source Type: Remote
Clicked Source tab
Remote Protocol: RTSP
Remote Method: RTP/Unicast
Remote Host Name: 192.168.1.25
Remote Host Port: 554
Remote Host Path: /11
Capture Width (pixels): 1920
Capture Height (pixels): 1080

When I view the monitor for this camera, I sometimes get broken images. I sometimes get 1 frame.

Why is it working great in VLC from my mac, but buggy at best in ZM on my Ubuntu ZM server?

Try source type ffmpeg

well, that was easy.


thanks! it worked
